One question that has been distressing relatives is whether they will accept only partial remains, or if they will wait an extended time for all of the body parts to be identified.
But most of the next of kin are agreed on one thing: they want the repatriation of all the bodies from the one family killed to stay together and be brought back at the same time.
Inspector Way said these were very difficult decisions.
It is a choice for the family, he said.
If the remains are incomplete they can wait until the end or they can take the remains as they are and then when others are discovered we will repatriate and reunite those remains. The families can also wait until all members are identified and they can be released at the same time.
In The Netherlands there has been an outcry after grieving families have been told not to open the caskets when the bodies are returned to them.
The police liaison officials attached to the families have come under attack for making the suggestion sound like a formal directive. But Mr de Bruijn insisted the families were not under any such order.

Entirely missed the outcry, so I'd call it the alledged outcry.
What I know is that given the state the remains are in, the identification team may in certain cases advise against families seeing the remains, or, if this is possible, allow them to see the part that is least damaged, if this is possible.
